Since 1851, 123 hurricanes and tropical storms have passed within 150 miles of Beaumont. Here's what you should know.

Local note: Located near the Gulf and at the head of Sabine Lake, Beaumont's greatest hurricane risk is inland flooding and storm surge funneled from the bay system — recent strikes like Hurricane Laura (2020) and numerous close approaches (Ivan passed within 6 miles in 2004) underline that heavy rain and surge, not just wind, drive major impacts.
